Here and there


I can’t seem to focus on one task anymore.  My days are planned with lots of things to do, but it’s so difficult to pull myself together to finish one task.  Today: I made breakfast, but I didn’t want to wash the dishes right away.  Instead I surfed the internet.  I decided to wash my face before I finally got to the dishes. I picked up some glass pieces from a vase I exploded (different story), but I needed to vacuum the micro glass bits. But I decided to have coffee and read a book first. Now a couple hours later, I’ve done very little and still so much cleaning to do.

Sigh.

When I have meals, I can’t help but eat it in front of the computer. If I force myself to sit at the table, I end up reading bits of newspapers and ads scattered nearby. I can be watching TV, surfing the net, eating and texting at the same time.

Yesterday I went hiking in Lake Tahoe.  It was a beautiful day to be dipping our feet into the cool waters.

The best part was driving through Tahoe City.  With it’s little shops and restaurants lined up nearby the water, it’s quite a quaint city.  Sure there are tourists, but there are the locals who are boating, walking their dogs, reading books by the water. This is the slower life I wish I could live for a few weeks. There’s no time left this summer, but maybe one weekend I can book a hotel out there and enjoy doing little to nothing.
